Yes, I'll admit - I have a slight prejudice against Internet Explorer!

• http://www.laptopsonline.com/  The name says it all.
  
• http://www.micro-star.com/laptop.html   Pretty good prices, holds great promise.
  
• http://www.123compute.com/   More laptops.
  
• http://www.compushack.com   More more more laptops!
  
• Of course, I can't fail to mention eBay!   eBay is very popular, and an excellent place to find really old, crappy laptops.
• http://www.getadeal.com/   Get a deal on used laptops!
  

LINKS FOR WIN3X SOFTWARE:

• Arachne Browser can run on older machines, under DOS or Linux!

• http://www.circa.ufl.edu/handouts/softdist/package31.html is a page from a University site, giving some interesting and valuable information on getting on the internet with Windows 3x.
  
• http://pentium2.gower.net/win3x.htm  and http://www.icubed.com/html/win31sw.html   are two other download sites.   These sites also have an older version of Eudora Lite for you to download.  This version of Eudora can fit onto a floppy, it may be convenient for some users.

More links of interest!

• http://extlab1.entnem.ufl.edu/IH8PCs/index.html  The "I Hate Computers" page.   This is a hilarious web site, and it is easy for a 386 to view.  By this I mean, no java, doesn't take too long to load.  (Opera didn't crash once while viewing it!)  I spent several hours touring around several years of archived newsletters the creator of this page had written.  He is clever, and interesting.  Give his page a look!
  
• http://www.oldsoftware.com/ibm.html   Old software for sale.
  
• http://www.obsoletecomputermuseum.org   Obsolete Computer Page.  Some very interesting information and pictures of old computers!
  
• http://gwhs.8m.com/   The "genuine" Windows 3.1 page.   An excellent page for Win3.x users.   You owe it to yourself to check it out.
  
• http://www.galactic.co.uk/iainf/computers.html   Care and feeding of the Elderly computer.   Good site, with it's own good links.
• http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Network/7070/index2.html   "Internet Explorer Sucks" Page.   I'll admit, I love to dislike IE (but I suspect not as much as some people!)   I found this site an amusing "hate page" dedicated to the dreaded Internet Explorer.
• I made a crappy little web page with my crappy little laptop.  Just goes to show you what you can still do with one of these dinosaurs! The URL is: http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/Quarters/8955/project/index.html.  Be warned, this page takes longer to load, and it has (horrors!) java on it!   (Just for a little counter...)
• Some easy, free web authoring software to get for an old crappy Win3x system is Dida.  It's what I used to make my web page with the crappy laptop.

Linux and Lynx Links:

Try saying that five times fast!

• http://www.winlinux.net   This new version of Linux will work on Win9x, and will need a Pentium-class processor. So - nothing too crappy for it!   But it sounds so tempting, and fascinating, I am including the link.   It is supposed to be a "Windows friendly" version of Linux - a new breed of Linux.
• Yahoo Lynx Listing (URL too long for page!)   Some links Yahoo has compiled on Lynx.
• http://jgo.local.net/LinuxGuide/   For Linux Newbies.
